This book is for anyone who has lost someone. Whether the loss is recent or occurred years ago, the pain is always present. James Withey has known loss since the age of five, when his father died, and it follows him to this day. In the twenty years he has been supporting people through the grieving process as a counselor and social worker, he has helped others face their grief and come to terms with the injustice of loss. With his characteristic humor and warmth, he offers forty ways to manage your loss, no matter what stage you are in. He provides relief when things get excessively difficult, ideas for when you don't know what to do, and many moments of laughter to balance the sadness.
